European Tour – Orientation Day 2 (Written by Gala)

well, if you don’t mind 4 flat tires on the 2nd day of orientation (yes, one was mine, from pumping my tires too much), getting lost, gene almost getting electricuited AND falling head over handlebars into a ditch while trying to take a photo riding fully loaded (he’s o.k.)… then it could be considered simple as 123, do-ray-mi, abc baby you and me girrrlll.

when we heard the news of MJs death, we briefly nicknamed this the michael jackson memorial tour. and some of us considered riding with only one bike glove the whole way.

no….
tonight we arrived in utrecht, 40kms south of amsterdam, to stay in an abandoned warehouse with a guy who sabrina met on couchsurfing. after arrival, since my chore group’s chore this week is Making Dinner (they dont know my cooking skillz)… Shawn, Gene, Eileen and I set out to find the nearest grocery store and then purchased food for the next three meals, stuffed it into panniers, rode back and cooked a delicious pasta with both vegetarian and meat options, and then we all played a massive game of hide and go seek in this nutty joint.

nutty!

time to go to sleep. ill get 5 hours if i sleep riggghhht now.
